Title: Oxidation behavior of nickel--chromium--aluminum--yttrium -- magnesium oxide and nickel--chromium--aluminum--yttrium -- zirconate type of cermets

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7320020

The 1100 and 1200 C cyclic oxidation resistance of dense Ni-Cr-Al-Y - MgO, Ni-Cr-Al-Y - CaZrO/sub 3/, Ni-Cr-Al-Y - SrZrO/sub 3/, Ni-Cr-Al-Y - MgZrO/sub 3/ cermets and a 70 percent dense Ni-Cr-Al-Y developmental material was determined. The cermets contained 60 and 50 volume percent of Ni-Cr-Al-Y which formed a matrix with the oxide particles imbedded in it. The cermets containing MgO were superior to cermets based on zirconates and to the porous Ni-Cr-Al-Y material. Cyclic oxidation tests of four cermet systems are reported; variables include simple oxide content, element content, oxidation temperature, specific weight change, number of cycles, and X-ray diffraction pattern intensities: 2 figures and 3 tables include numeric data.
